iPhoneography, Presumptions and postulations with a twist

Not again!

Across the Bored woke up on the right side of the bed, had a pleasant breakfast and accomplished a few chores before getting down to some serious blogging this holiday morning when, once again, our temper was set off by a small but annoying discovery.

WP has seen fit to remove blog names from the new posts in the reader…. has anyone else noticed this or is only our monitor plagued with an appalling lack of identification under the tags and photos? Is this not just a tad insulting to those who spent some considerable amount of time “Choosing the Perfect Blog Name” or paying good money annually for a dedicated domain? If we wanted to be anonymous we wouldn’t be blogging, we would live in some remote location with no wi-fi and carve our memoirs onto a log. Days were when we could workaround the dreaded “403 Forbidden” and even put up with unexpected cut-outs and missing posts but this Big Brotheresque move really sucks.

I (was) getting a lovely string of tags across the top, a photo beneath, a few lines from the beginning of the post below that then the like and reblog widgets – no name no nothing – it has since been “fixed”.

Ah, you have to love technology :)
We’re having problems with our telephone line and consequently broadband access – up and down all day long, resetting the router, resetting my laptop’s Wi-Fi adapter. It’s so painful I have taken up reading again :)

I was having a similar problem at one point with the reader on my ipad. I can’t tell you how many times I cleared the cache, removed cookies, deleted the history and reset my browsers in an attempt to get some sort of continuity…. Sometimes the only way to solve it is to vent!

It’s on mine – not on the mobile iphone or ipad versions but on my laptop… Don’t know whether they appear on a monitor as I don’t have access to one at the moment, most odd! Do you have them on your site?

There seems to be a general disinterest in issues like this and it does beg the question why people seem so ready to accept arbitrary changes foisted upon them – this is indicative of the larger apathy that comes from living in a first-world democracy…
